What I'm looking for

I seek a finance role where I can apply accounts payable/receivable and reconciliation expertise, grow my ICA qualification, and contribute to efficient, team-oriented operations.

I am an experienced accounts professional with hands-on expertise in accounts payable and receivable, bank reconciliations, financial administration, and supervising data-entry staff. I deliver accurate payment processing, reconcile accounts, and liaise with branches to resolve payment and imprest issues.

I bring strong communication, organisation, and customer-service skills developed through roles at Star Life Assurance and internships in corporate finance and operations, and I am currently pursuing ICA Part Two to further my accounting qualifications.
